Trip to Texas

So, we made it to Todd and Breezy's and everyone was getting acquainted with each other. Watching 5 children for 8 days is a lot of work. Anyone who is considering having a large family should think long and hard about that! I have not had a desire for more children and this just sealed the deal. Two is company for me! All of the kids and babies were sooooo.... good. They really were, it's just a lot of work to care for that many. This was a great experiment for the kids. Maddi has been begging for another brother or sister and after so many days of younger cousins arounds, she got less and less helpful. She realized that babies are fun to visit, but having one in our house would change our lives quite a bit. Cade learned that babies and younger kids aren't that bad and he'll still get attention. He got more and more playful with them as time went on.
Maddi is holding Case in her lap and Blake is on the left. They are 9 months old. Maddi was so awesome to have around. I'd feed one a bottle and she'd feed the other. Same thing with feeding them baby food. I couldn't have done it without my Maddi girl.
Omie came to see us when we got there. She was there for two days and then she had to go back to work and left on her delayed honeymoon after that. Omie has 7 grandkids now. Getting 5 kids to look as you take a picture is no small task. We had to break out the candy for bribery for Cade and Maison. Cade will be 5 in August and is holding Case, Maddi is 6 1/2 and is holding Blake, Maison will be 2 at the end of July.
The twins are so laid back. Aren't they cute?
